I'm assuming you are posting this for reader opinions? You have nice specs, and nice hardware.

But I gotta tell you I think the way you mounted your radiator is very bad. The way the tubing is bending off the RAD is not good and as water heats up the hose will only bend worse. Plus IMO it doens't look good at all like that.

Can't criticize without offering a suggestion.

I would go buy several sheets of Plexiglas, spray paint, and some silicon and make a quick box to store all external components in. If you make a box out of plexi you can spray paint the backside of it to hide/show what needs to be hidden/shown.

Or Mount the radiator on the back of the case near the exhaust port.

I will try to come up with a solution.. this is my first WC system.. thx for the imput

Laurijan · Sep 11, 2008

I found a solution for the tubing to the rad not to bend so it doesnt restrict the waterflow anymore.. i used clamps to bend the tubing back to normal..

Please vote and vote fair!

If you think my rig is not good please tell my why like ZenZimZaliben

Laurijan · Sep 11, 2008

Bought an UV-light to make the swiftech hydrx coolant i put in the loops destilled water shine and also the UV-reactive parts of my mobo

Made me post a new post. :/ V V

I voted 8/10 because:
Nice, clean looking job! Good idea with the band clamps to give the tubing some better support, just make sure they aren't too tight, or not cutting into the tubes. 8/10 cheers

sneekypeet · Sep 11, 2008

Voted...Great set up and very clean wire management.

Laurijan · Sep 13, 2008

ZenZimZaliben · Sep 17, 2008

Band clamps are a good idea. You case has clean wiring, good components, nice lighting.
score = 8/10

Laurijan · Sep 21, 2008

Vote bump.. Please vote!

Bjorn_Of_Iceland · Oct 6, 2008

I voted 9/10 because:

Ditch the CRT for an LCD

Laurijan · Oct 10, 2008

Something is wrong with the rating window.. seems like everyone voted 9/10 but how can this be that my rating is 6.2..

Laurijan · Jan 22, 2009

I go me a LCD! Juhuu.. please vote

t77snapshot · Jan 22, 2009

Very clean, great hardware, I like the green and blue colors, awesome rig!!! 7/10

King Wookie · Jan 22, 2009

I'll give you a 8/10.

Trying to do neat wiring in a P180 is a nightmare. So well done.
Another suggestion in the longer term is to get some of those angled connectors, either the 45 or 90 deg versions. Bitspower make a whole range.

LittleLizard · Jan 23, 2009

very good, i give 8/10. you should find a place to put the rad that looks good AND be functional, there is only fuctional altough it isnt that bad

Chicken Patty · Jan 23, 2009

laurijan if you can come up with a solution for your water components 10/10 dude, overall very nice, for now 8/10.

What about like how I did with my case, I got some spare fans and cut the inside out, just left the border and made my own rad box, if not you can buy the swiftech rad box to mount it anyways

check out my posts below, get some ideas if you'd like :toast:
